Sheikh Abul'Qassim Al-Barradi Al-Dummari(d.810AH/1407AD) and his approach in his "Jawahir"

Abstract

This research paper deals with the biography of Al-Barradi , and his approach  in important historical book: "Al-Jawahir", as his author is considered a continuation  of  the book of Tabaqat Al-Dargini, who dispensed with mentioning  events and biographys of Ibadia's Sheikhs in the levant in the first century AH.

Al-Barradi came to complete that deficiency and fill that gap that many Mashreq  and Maghreb historians have avoided, who is Al- Barradi, and what are the characteristics of its historical writing in its "Jwahir". The author was able to revive the Ibadi biographies , in an approach characterized by general and yearly history, then a "manaqib" approach devoted to mentioning the virtues of the rightly Guided Caliphs, and some of the imams of Rustumid in the Mghreb.
